Guest guest Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Dawn, coming back to your severe reaction to vitamin D, Rufus Greenbaum has just sent me the following information and I thought this might be useful to you. Luv - Sheila Dear Sheila, My information is that about 1 in 300 people have a slight allergic reaction to Vitamin D supplements May I suggest that you check out www.vitamindwiki.com whenever you have a question like this, as it is a very good source of information Search there for an article by “Masterjohn” from 2010 QUOTE ====== there seems to be a subset of us for whom even low doses (1,000 IU/day) of Vit D cause kidney stones, chest pain, fatigue, and aches and pains, even though our 25 OH D levels were 'low' (23). We get these symptoms as soon as a week after using the D. . . . I saved myself a trip to the ER with the above symptoms by remembering previous articles of yours about balancing the fat-soluble vitamins, and took about 100,000 IU of Vit A from fish oil and 5 mg of K2. Within 1/2 hour ALL the symptoms disappeared. This happened more than once so I know it is not coincidence. You are definitely on to something here. Lynn Razaitis, June 2010 I certainly know what happens when you get these ratios off. I naively had a vitamin D shot of 200,000 units after a serious viral infection that used up my vit A. I wrecked my kidneys, thyroid and who knows what else. It took 6 months and Chris's articles to figure out what the heck was going on with me. Within weeks of getting my vit A up with cod liver oil and a ton of liver (and I was thyroid blood testing monthly so I had test results to compare) my thyroid hormones all normalized. It was fairly stunning. ENDQUOTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks so much Shiela. Well at the moment I an taking dried liver as part of my deficiency treatment so I will give a 1000iu D3 a day a try again in a few weeks. I wanted to buy the 'fermented' codliver oil but sadly cannot afford it. Neer mind, thanks again I hope really hope it helps Its not nice. luv Dawnx > > Dawn, coming back to your severe reaction to vitamin D, Rufus Greenbaum has > just sent me the following information and I thought this might be useful to > you. > > Luv - Sheila > > > > Dear Sheila, > > > >> > ====== > > there seems to be a subset of us for whom even low doses (1,000 IU/day) of > Vit D cause kidney stones, chest pain, fatigue, and aches and pains, even > though our 25 OH D levels were 'low' (23).
